Medicare Part D

[Noor]

Wow! So I am trying to figure out how my friend can get a very expensive drug for her mom who had a cheap medicare plan. UNless we can get some sort of exception it will a few thousand per month co pay.
So I started looking up co pays and plans using the next drug I am trying and the cost ranges from $3/month to $2780/month.
THere are a lot of things to consider when choosing a medicare plan! You really need to add up everything.

Even with a comprehensive universal healthcare system, prescriptions are not free in Canada. I can get heart bypass surgery done for free but have to pay 80$ a month for cholesterol lowering drugs.

talk to the dr or to the drug maker. sometimes they have forms for you to fill out and apply for a payment waiver or reduced cost. other than that, lots of people seem to be running internet "fund me's" these days.

Get different insurance. The best plan in the world wouldn't cost 2700 a month.

Check out the Medicare drug plans, with their tier 5 specialty drugs, not good, not good at all.

I pay a max out of pocket of $1150 with my plan so everything is pretty much all permiums, but all that choice goes away at age 65 when everything is medicare...

I contacted the drug maker and got a reduced price.

Yeah, I know, they're evil, the insurance companies are evil, yada, yada, yada...

Obama's vacations cost more than what free drugs would cost for all of America.

Seriously? How fun! We had a really sunny day this week and it fooled everyone into thinking spring was here. Muhahaha. Now it's back to cold, overcast and rainy .

It comes and goes...



It will melt by midmorning.

Sounds a lot like the 3 r's

We have plenty of rabbits.



Their big joy in life sees to be exercising the dachshunds...

We had a rabbit that tried to dig a hole in our front yard. I don't know what happened to it but I never found a bunny corpse so I hope it found a new home.

Weiner dogs!! Makes me think of cheese, yum.

Have a good morning Mr. Tree. May your leaves always drip with dew

Thanks and have a great day...

Most of our needs could be managed adequately if we prioritized spending and cut all the billions we piss away. Its really simple.

My IQ is prolly a hundred points above yours, and I don't lose sleep when I get things wrong. Failure is the best school I know of. So peddle your ignorance discount where youll get better results. I mean, I'm not HEELS who knows what God thinks.

You could always move to a civilised country that doesn't have a third world health care system.

Take your beatdown like the man your daddy wanted you to be, not the sissy your mama raised.

My daddy was a 13 year old Marine in the Pacific, he was 15 when Japan surrendered. That old fool thought my Vietnam service was better than his.

Update:
The drug company is paying for my friend's mom's drug and she is getting better!

 

[Hard_Rom]

Appealing to drug company sometimes works. Bad press to have people die because they can't afford the company's life saving drugs.


Noirtrash is a hateful, repugnant, racist fucktard but has a point about wasted billions. The US could solve all it's problems with a 20% cut in military expenditures.

Canadian politicians get stupid pensions after just 5 years in parliament and other political appointees get huge buyout packages after less than a year doing a job incompetently.

Almost all governments are wasteful and inefficient. Even the good ones.

With what we pay it should all be 'free'....MD's and RN's of all flavors wouldn't pay a dime to go to a nationalized medical schools that produced the best on the planet and we would still have enough left over to do it all over again.

We don't need to cut the military at all, we just need to get the companies out of the legislature. Unfortunately the baby boomers/silent dip shits here in the US are still so fucking terrified of Stalin and the USSR the idea of someone other than an insurance/pharmaceutical company writing our HC reform laws sends old conservatives and democrats alike into fits nationwide.

We might have to wait another 10 years before enough of them die off to outvote them and their faith that Reagan will save the day with that trickle down any second now. But it's going to happen.....

You could always move to a civilised country that doesn't have a third world health care system.

Or you could just suck less and learn how to make money....

Great news! I was going to suggest trying to get into a test group or research study. They usually foot expenses just to collect data. Hard to get into though.
